What are circus arts?
Recreational circus arts are a great way to stay active while having fun, meet new people and challenge your body and mind at your own pace, develop and express your creativity, build self-confidence, strength and flexibility, and feel good in your body. Most of all, circus arts are fun and when you find an activity that is fun, you will want to do it over and over.
Aerial silks, static trapeze, partner acrobatic lifts, juggling, hula hooping, unicycle and tumbling are all part of our programming for adults and for children. Skills are adapted to the level and age of participants so as to be accessible to everyone. Some intermediate and advanced classes are available for those wanting to push the technique further.
